Your iPhone screen cracks on the way to work. The battery dies before noon. The charging port stops holding a cable. These problems happen to every iPhone eventually, and most of them are a lot cheaper and faster to fix than people expect.
Gadget Ali repairs iPhones at two Metro Vancouver locations: 935 Marine Dr in North Vancouver, and 6551 No. 3 Rd in Richmond. Walk-ins are welcome at both. We look at the device first, tell you what we find, and give you a price before anything gets started. For other phone brands, see our cell phone repair page.

Gadget Ali offers in person iPhone repair support at two physical locations near Vancouver. You can visit us for walk-in diagnostics, repair estimates, and local service without shipping your phone away.
Choose the location that works best for you, or call ahead to confirm part availability for your iPhone model and repair issue.
Want to know which one you are dealing with before you come in? Our guide on how to tell if the glass or the display is broken covers the same checks we run at the counter.
If your iPhone makes it to mid-morning on a full charge, shuts off at 20%, or runs warm during basic use, the battery is almost certainly the problem. We test battery health first.
If it’s past the point of reasonable performance, replacement is usually the right call. Most popular iPhone models are done within the hour.
Before assuming the port is broken, we check whether debris is packed into the Lightning or USB-C connector. It happens more often than you’d think, and cleaning it out takes about two minutes. If the port itself is damaged or corroded, we repair or replace it. Either way, you get a clear answer quickly.
Liquid damage gets worse the longer you wait. Even if the phone seems fine right after getting wet, corrosion builds up inside over the following days.
Bring it in as soon as possible. We open it up, assess the actual condition, and tell you honestly whether repair is worth pursuing. We don’t start work we don’t think will hold.
Blurry photos, a black screen when you open the camera, the rear camera working but the front not, or a lens that’s clearly cracked. These usually point to a module or lens issue. We check what’s actually failing before recommending the fix.
Muffled calls, no sound from the speaker, or the other person constantly saying they can’t hear you. We test the speaker, earpiece, and microphone separately to find which one is actually causing the problem.
Power buttons, volume buttons, and the mute switch wear out with age. If a button feels stuck or stops responding entirely, we can usually replace the affected part on most models.
iPhone 8 through 18 models have glass backs that shatter on drops. We replace the back glass on most of these models. Call ahead to confirm availability for your specific model.
The estimate depends on the exact iPhone model, the fault and the replacement part. A screen, battery or charging problem may also involve other damage that changes the work required.
| Repair | What affects the estimate |
|---|---|
| Screen | Model, display option, frame condition and any additional damage. |
| Battery | Model and whether the fault is limited to the battery. |
| Charging | Whether the problem involves the connector, cable or internal circuit. |
| Camera, back glass or audio | The affected component, model and damage around it. |
| Liquid damage or no power | Inspection findings and whether the proposed repair is practical. |
See our iPhone repair cost guide for pricing information and the questions to ask about a quote. Confirm the total and proposed work before approving the repair.

Compare the options for your exact model and fault. If you have AppleCare, warranty coverage or another protection plan, check its terms and the available service route before deciding.
When comparing estimates, ask about the replacement part, included work, total price, expected completion time and warranty. A quote is only comparable when it covers the same fault and scope.
At Gadget Ali, you can bring the phone to Richmond or North Vancouver to discuss an assessment. We explain the proposed work so you can decide whether it suits your device and circumstances.
Walk in, no appointment needed. Bring the iPhone and describe what’s happening.
We inspect it first. We check what’s actually wrong, not just the symptom you described. This usually takes a few minutes.
You get a clear price. No work begins until you’ve agreed to the cost.
We repair and test. After the fix, we check that everything works before handing it back.
30-day warranty on eligible repairs. If the repair fails on our end, we’ll sort it out at no charge.
It depends on your model, the fault and the part being quoted. See our iPhone repair cost guide for guidance, then confirm the estimate for your device after assessment.
No. Both locations take walk-ins during business hours. If you have an older or less common model, calling ahead to check parts availability saves you potential waiting time.
Screen replacements are usually one to two hours for popular models and battery swaps are often under an hour. Water damage and board faults take longer. We give you a time estimate after inspection, and our guide to phone repair timelines covers every repair type in detail.
It depends on the repair and your preference. We can discuss part options and pricing before starting. We’ll explain the difference and let you decide.
We can try. Bring it in as soon as possible. The sooner we look at it, the better the chances. We inspect first and quote before any work begins.
Yes. We don’t turn away phones with prior repairs. We’ll inspect the current state and tell you what we can and can’t do from there.
We’ll tell you. If a repair isn’t practical, we’ll explain why and suggest the most sensible next step. We don’t push repairs that won’t hold up.
Yes. We also handle iPad repair at both locations. Same process: walk in, free inspection, price before work starts.
It depends on the model, repair cost, device condition, and the type of issue. After inspection, we can help you compare the repair option with the cost of replacing the device.
Eligible repairs include warranty coverage. Warranty details depend on the repair type and parts used, and we explain this before the repair is completed.
